State tax filing
If the amount of taxes you had withheld (W2 box 2) is the right amount to cover the tax on your taxable income, then your refund would be zero.
If withholding was more than enough to cover the taxes, then you would get a refund.
If not enough to cover the taxes then you would owe on your return.
To see what your taxable income is and the tax on that amount you can view the forms in TurboTax online versions with these steps. Look at lines 15 and 16 on your form 1040.
- Click "Tax Tools" in the left hand menu
- Click "Tools"
- Click "View Tax Summary"
- Click "Preview My 1040" in the left hand menu
If want to have bigger refunds you need to work with your employer to file a new Form W4 to have more taxes withheld from your pay during the year. You will have smaller paychecks.
Here is a calculator to help create a W4 if you need it.
